Pumpherston and Uphall Station CPS Blog
A place for news, information and sharing learning from PUSCPS
Want or need? This is what Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 have been thinking about this week!Â
Ted has decided to move to a new land and we had to work in groups to decide the five most important things he would need to take with him.
We understood that there are things we need to live and there are others which would be nice to have, but we could live without them. However, one confused us…
So we challenge you.. A toothbrush – want or need?
Good luck!
Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 🙂
This week, Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 have been very busy preparing for the final part of their Birthdays topic – our Victorian Tea Party! We have been busy making bow ties and headbands to wear and have been practising how to use a cup and saucer – ask us to show you how! We are very good at it now! We have also been preparing Memory Bags for our grown ups to show them what we have learned through this topic.
Grown ups..
Please wear your finest garments and we will meet you at 11.45am to escort you into the dining area.
Photographs to follow!

We had a fantastic trip last week to Linlithgow Palace, Linlithgow High Street and Annet House Museum. We really enjoyed exploring the Palace and learning new games and information from our brilliant Primary 7 Guides from Linlithgow Primary School. The sun even shone when we had a picnic lunch in the beautiful gardens at Annat House. At the end of the garden we saw a statue of Mary Queen of Scots looking over to the place she was born, Linlithgow Palace. It was a great day that we all really enjoyed and some of us are planning to go back again in the future.
Primary 3 have left the Victorian times in their time machine and landed in the 1960’s! We have been comparing music from the 1960’s to now and have been finding out about the fashion from that time. We designed our own sixties clothes using the same bright and bold patterns that were used then.
Can you remember why the Eco committee were looking so happy this week? More news to follow..
Due to prior commitments of the NETS team and their equipment, the new date for the Community Litter pick will be Wednesday 2nd October. Please contact the school office if you would be able to join us on a walk around our community to pick up any litter and make Pumpherston and Uphall Station clean and tidy. Join Us! 
Our big Autumn Litter pick, out in the villages of Pumpherston and Uphall Station, will take place next Thursday morning(Sept 19th). We would like to have as many of our friends and families taking part as possible – if you have an hour or so to spare come and join in with the classes as they tidy up the local area.The first groups will leave the school at 9.15am.
We’ll be out and about on the streets and in the parks. Members of WLC NETS team will be with us to give training, lend equipment and hand out the bright yellow vests we wear to show we’re all Keeping Scotland Beautiful. If you can help please contact the office and we’ll match you up with a group on the day. Thank you!
On the 23rd of September a important lady is coming to the school to see if our school is eco enough for the green flag.In our meeting on Tuesday we were talking about what we are going to do clean up around our school grounds, the suds pond and the school garden for our action plan this year. P5 have been doing ground force and they have been trying their hardest to keep our school grounds as clean as posible. P6 have been doing litter picking.
Any parents or friends of the school who would like to help with weeding, digging or planting this year would be very welcome. Please contact Mrs Hull at the school.
Thank you.
